German Chistyakov tips Anzhi Makhachkala to qualify for UEFA Champions League - RPL news
Anzhi Makhachkala general director, German Chistyakov,
has shown his delight on how the Russian outfit is shaping up, and tipped the Dagestani club to qualify for UEFA Champions League in the near future.
The fact that Anzhi have managed to win their latest Russian Premier League tie 2-1 against CSKA Moscow at home has delighted the general director, who revealed his satisfaction on his team’s performance and urged the outfit to
work harder.
“Firstly, I want to congratulate all the fans upon our win, we really deserve it. The match was terrific and it kept the viewers in suspense until the very end. And at times, we played some good football.” Chistyakov was quoted
as saying.
Chistyakov revealed that Anzhi are keeping tabs on some potential targets to strengthen their squad in the upcoming transfer window and shrugged off any rumours linking their star striker, Samuel Eto’o, with a move back to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567
Milan on loan.
Anzhi managed to claim a point against Zenit St. Petersburg before claiming all three points against CSKA Moscow. The general director is of the view that the Russian outfit has silenced its critics by claiming points against leading
teams.
“We really showed that we are on equal footings with the leading teams of our championship. I think when the guys will return after the winter break, we have a real chance to upset our critics to get to the coveted European Cup
goal.”
The Russian national admitted to the difficult task of claiming a top spot this season but insisted that they are eyeing a champions League berth.
Chistyakov refused to draw conclusions on the recent results, and warned the Dagestani club not to rest on their laurels. He is of the view that the Russian championship has become tighter than ever and it demands more effort from
the respective teams.
Anzhi have climbed up to seventh spot on the league table with the latest win, and Chistyakov revealed that he is looking forward to seeing his new-look Russian outfit side gel together during third round of the Russian Premier
League.
